Low temperature is a major environmental constraint impacting insect geographic distribution and seasonal activity. This book explores the physiological and molecular mechanisms that allow insects to cope with a cold environment, places these responses in an evolutionary and ecological context, and discusses their practical applications in cryopreservation and pest management.
